The reward signs were purchased through a reward fund the chamber established in 2000 after vandalism problems throughout town. Those problems included uprooted trees downtown, broken lights at a business along Front Street and graffiti on downtown businesses. Several firms donated money toward a reward fund, which is still available.

Bill Grant, chamber president, said the chamber has a close relationship with the recreation commission the two organizations share an office at 635 E. Fourth.

"We wanted to see if we could put that money to work in the community," Grant said.
